Small Craft Warnings is one of Tennessee Williams’ least popular plays. This version is on Theatre Row being presented by the Mother of Invention theatre company. It’s got a huge cast in it including Austin Pendleton, who is also the director, and I guess the Small Craft Warning is a whole bunch of people who were sort of drifting around and bashing into each other. It’s in a very small space so everybody is basically in your lap among other things, but I mean Austin Pendleton is wonderful to watch, and the rest of the cast is — some of them are better than others, but it’s fun to see theatre that’s this close, up close and personal. They’re literally in your lap. Austin has a great monologue that goes about seven or eight minute that really cooks. The rest of the cast, as I said, is somewhat uneven. If you’re a great Tennessee Williams fan, this is probably something you shouldn’t miss. If you’re not, it’s still fun to see theatre that’s this intimate, and as I said Austin Pendlelton is terrific in it. So I give it two stars.
